School of Education faculty, staff, students are invited to celebrate American Education Week November 15-21.   This year we explore the theme “Great Public Schools: A Basic Right and Our Responsibility”.  SoE events are posted online and include a special MERIT workshop "Exploring New Applications for Teachers in the Classroom" on November 17th from 2:30-4:30 pm 346 MERIT library with Seann Dikkers, PhD student in C&I.   

Sean notes, "Technology is changing the way we learn, and more importantly what we need to learn in a world saturated with new technologies. This workshop reviews the "new" learning, exploring some of the ideas from Clayton Christensen’s book "Disrupting Class," and discusses how schools and educational systems are responding to technology change. The workshop includes a "speed review" of software applications for productivity, cloud computing, classroom projects and creativity design."

SoE faculty, staff, students and area educators are welcome to attend.
